We can worry about so many things…  things that really have no merit or meaning in the overall scheme of things. At the end of the day, the only things that really matter in this world are that we are doing what we feel we should be doing, that our heart is in the right place, that we are honest and open, that we are loyal to our true friends and loved ones, that we love deeply with our whole heart, that we respect others, that we are true to ourselves and what we stand for, that we fight for what we believe in, that we are thankful for our blessings, and that we live our lives every day with honor and love and respect for our God and for our fellow man.
